The Wall a mess

Maddevill said:
Hi all,
Yesterday I was up at the Wall in the morning. What a disaster. Trash all over, guard rail collapsed, trash can full and spilling out. Maybe we should organize a cleanup there? I am also wondering if it would be worth trying to get the city or county to put 3 more trash cans up there. They would have to be chained down. It's a pity that one of the most beautiful places we have to go is treating like the dump.
The Golden Man will soon be giving a thumbs down....

Every time I go up there there are almost never bikes anymore. At the normal times (sunsets etc.) seems like the cars too over.

The city/county hasn't put a single trash can up there. A private individual put the trash can up there and empties it.

I'm out of town this weekend and can not make it. Next time tho... :ride
 
I'll be there at 8 am on Sunday. I'll try to corrall a couple friends.
I realize it's last minute but maybe someone could make a sigh that says who cleaned the place up and asking people to please not litter there. Stick it on a pole or something.
I'll check back on Saturday evening to confirm it's going on.

Is someone going to have a truck up there on Sunday? Going to need to carry the trashbags we fill.
I'll pitch in for trash bags and gas money.

I'll make the sacrifice drive my truck. :laughing :thumbup
 
I'm not around, but rode Redwood Road last weekend and saw massive piles of dumped trash in multiple turnouts :( If folks still have energy/empty trash bags...

Also call the city re illegal dumping and they might help too
 
Ill see about bringing some donuts and some latex gloves for trash pick up. I could use some good Karma...

Not in for continued cleanup of turnouts. That's someone's household trash and I'm not dealing with that...not to mention the sheer scale of it. I don't mind adding a few bags at home and work but you're talking literal truckloads of possibly hazardous trash.
I'll throw some time and energy at tidying up the Wall solely because it is (was) a rather iconic local spot. Can't say the same about turnouts.
 
I filled 3 garbage bags worth of trash up there last Monday. If we can all lend a hand once in a while it will look a lot better.
 
Most of the mess is from the University of CA partyers. Friday/Sat. nite up there is a drunken mess. People just toss their trash everywhere, or the dumpsters in the early AM hours on the weekend...
 
I'll be there too. Kind of obligated since my post started this current clean up. People will be mad if I don't show I think...Lol

I will try to be there as well, will be coming from SF so may vary between 8-8:30am. Maybe an enthusiastic ride through Redwood Road afterwards.
